Family Vacation

A couple weekends ago we got together with Justin's family. We went to Cherry Hill on a Thursday and set up camp there. We had lunch and then went swimming and came back for dinner when we were done. We didn't go swimming again that night, but we did stay up playing some games with Jon and Heidi. We got the boys ready for bed. The two older ones stayed with Ninny and Bapa and the youngest stayed with us in our tent. We shared with Jon and Heidi. Once the boys were down Jon, Heidi, Justin and I went for a walk around the camping area. We ended up going back to the swimming area and watched the employees have an employee party. They were racing up and down all the slides. It was fun to watch. When we did end back at our camp site we went to bed. I don't think anyone slept well that night. Justin and I ended up in his Dad's truck for the last three hours of our sleep.

Friday morning, we got up and had breakfast. Jon, Heidi, the boys and Dad went swimming once we were done cleaning up our camp site. Justin and I did the miniture golf while every one was swimming. We met up with Mom while she was watching everyone and sat with her for a while until everyone was done and then we had a picnic for lunch. After lunch we all wanted to go miniture golfing again so we did. It was a lot of fun. It was very warm though! When we were done we left to go back home. Justin and I stayed at Justin's parent's house that night instead of going back to ours. We all slept very well that night. We stayed up playing games and talking and just enjoying each others company.

Saturday morning everyone got ready and we went and did family pictures by Justin's work. They boys did so well! We had a lot of fun doing it even though it was warm outside. We didn't do a whole lot on Saturday. After pictures we came back to our house and ate some lunch and then his family left. We went back to his parents house around 5:00 so we could go to his parents ward bbq. That was a lot of fun. They had a huge slip-n-slide and a candy cannon. They kids had a wonderful time. We slept at our house that night.

Sunday, we went over for lunch and then Jon, Heidi and the boys went home. We had a lot of fun with them while they were here. It was nice not really having to worry about anything and having some time off of work.

Oh, when we first got to Cherry Hill, I thought I saw my cousin and then I saw my uncle walking by. We tried yelling his name but he was too far away. My parents went out with my Dad's siblings and asked my uncle if he was there, and it was him. It was so funny to see them there. I didn't see them after that though. I don't know if they left by the time we got there or not.
